Paravel Wrap
Paravel is a luxurious rectangular wrap in fingering weight yarn. Drape it across your shoulders to show off the subtle textures and lace, or loop it around your neck as a decadent scarf. An asymmetrical design uses the traditional Totem Pole lace pattern up one side and easy lace edging on both edges, with broken rib check for the main body. The fabric is equally pretty on the reverse side. The wrap is worked in one piece from one end to the other, and the lace is worked with the main body of the wrap; no grafting and no tedious knitting-on of lace edgings. A short pattern repeat and plenty of rest rows make this a pleasant, leisurely knit.
